JEKY CHANWALA

About

I have completed my Ph.D (2017-2024) in plant molecular biology at Division of Gene Regulation and Function, Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar, India. During my Ph.D., I explored the evolutionary progression and role of the WRKY transcription factor in pearl millet's development and stress responses. I have gained experience in molecular biology, plant stress responses, genetic engineering, and bioinformatics.
